A mother in League City could be in big trouble for making her 10-year-old son walk home on the Gulf Freeway last night, according to the League City Police Department.

Angela Graciela Garcia, 34, is accused of forcing her son out of her white Audi A4 to walk unattended on the shoulder of the busy freeway on Oct. 7.

League City police received a call at around 8:30 p.m. that a young boy was walking down the 2100 block of the S. Gulf Freeway. He had been on the road for 15 minutes and was still several miles from home.

That stretch of the freeway has been especially dangerous lately, according to League City officials. There have been many traffic accidents along that part of the road.

According to the police report, the boy had been forced from the family vehicle as punishment after an argument. Garcia was found parked on the side of the road out of sight from the child.

Garcia was arrested and charged with abandoning and endangering a child, with bond was set at $7,500. She is currently in Galveston County custody.

Reagan Pena with the League City police said Garcia told police she had grown frustrated with the boy and booted him from the car.

Garcia had another son in the car at the time. Both children were released to their father after the arrest.

Pena asks that if anyone saw anything related to the incident to contact Detective Marty Grant with the League City PD.
